Employee Spotlight: Kim Covey

Good Earth Plants and GreenScaped Buildings welcomes our newest employee, Kim Covey. Kim brings passion and knowledge to the team with her 20 years of experience working with plants.

She loves being out in nature instead of being at desk and having the opportunity to see her work grow and blossom.

Kim is a great fit with the team. "I love the challenge of working with and working on living walls and green roofs. I am learning so much!"

Thanks a Bunch!

We are always so happy to receive thanks from our clients.

Connie from Qualcomm wrote us after a visit by Good Earth Plant Company.

"Debbie,

Just got in this morning to the most beautiful plants in Steve's office. WOW! Thanks so much for the amazing selection. He'll be so surprised when he comes back from travel on Monday :)

Thanks again!
Connie"

Connie, our greatest thanks is the enjoyment you and your colleagues get from our work.

Letter from the President: Joan Rivers, A Tree, and a Class Act

The world said goodbye to Joan Rivers at a memorial service in New York September 7. Famous names like Howard Stern Whoopi Goldberg, Rosie O'Donnell, Dr. Mehmet Oz, Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick, Diane Sawyer, Donald J. Trump and Barbara Walters remembered Joan and paid their respects.

Jim in Plants

I would like to remember Joan Rivers and pay my respects, too.

In the rest of the newsletter we have some new projects to share with you, and a reminder about our upcoming Open House and Plant Sale on Friday, September 26. We look forward to seeing you there.

Sempra is Sittin' On The Dock of the Bay with GEP

Sempra Energy's new Annex features a lounge area that creates the illusion that you are standing under a pier. Still, there was something missing... plants! Good Earth Plants Operations Manager Debbie Hopkins knew just how to tie the plants into the rustic look of the pier.

Debbie used the same recycled wood used to build the wall to build the custom planters. Debbie's planter in the seating area created a nice separation, tying in the look of the wall with rest of the room by using the same materials.
